What is the Dual Enrollment program at Bergen Community College?
Bergen Community College’s Dual Enrollment Program (DE) allows high school students to earn college credit while attending classes at their high school during the regular school day. Courses are taught by pre-approved high school teachers who meet the College’s adjunct faculty requirements (Master’s degree in their subject area).
Dual Enrollment courses meet BCC’s academic standards and expected learning outcomes, and all courses appear on both the high school transcript and the official college transcript.
Program Participation: How do I apply or participate?
To be eligible for participation, students must be currently enrolled in a Bergen Community College Dual Enrollment course at their high school at the time of application and registration. If there is uncertainty about whether a course qualifies as dual enrollment, students should speak with their high school counselor or guidance department. Please note that college credit cannot be granted retroactively for courses taken in previous semesters.

Supporting Students Together
Bergen Community College is committed to helping students succeed while safeguarding their privacy under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). To protect student records, students must be present whenever the Help Desk or other College offices assist with academic records, registration, or personal information.
Counselors, parents, and guardians are encouraged to support students by joining them during calls or visits. This collaborative approach allows staff to provide guidance while maintaining compliance with FERPA, and ensures that students stay actively involved in managing their academic progress and success.
